Is it possible to get a non-face-to-face prescription for diet herbal medicine in Eunpyeong-gu?
It depends on the situation. For a first visit or if pulse diagnosis is needed, an in-person visit is required. However, if you have already been treated here or need a re-prescription, non-face-to-face consultation is possible. Since diet herbal medicine is tailored to your constitution and condition, a first in-person visit is highly recommended.
You're wondering if non-face-to-face prescription is possible? I initially wondered the same. To put it simply, it is possible under certain conditions. For first-time visits, Korean medicine approaches diet by examining constitution, pulse, and tongue (tongue diagnosis). Elements such as spleen deficiency, phlegm-fluid, and blood stasis require palpation and careful observation, so the first consultation should be in person. For existing patients or those needing a re-prescription, if you have been treated at our clinic at least once, we can check changes in symptoms via phone or video consultation and prescribe non-face-to-face. Typically, adjustments are needed every 2–4 weeks, and we can send the medicine by courier if convenient. The non-face-to-face process is as follows: ① Fill out a pre-consultation questionnaire, ② Have a video consultation with the director (10–15 minutes), ③ Prescription and dispensing, ④ Delivery by courier. However, you must inform us of any weight changes or side effects. Under medical law, I cannot guarantee specific weight loss, but consistent management helps improve constitution. Since you live in Eunpyeong-gu, I recommend visiting once for an initial consultation. If you're tired of dizzying diet information, let's take a step-by-step approach together.
